Michelle Malkin exposes Obama and ACORN yet again.

Lots of links included - great stuff.

Someone had better arrest this bastard.

Update: "thefoundingfathers" links this article from, of all sources, PRAVDA (originally posted by Russian blogger Mat Rodina)!

It's quite a shame that Russians can see what Americans are doing to themselves while even Americans can't! Must have something to do with experience ...

Anyway, the Pravda/Rodina thing is a must-read. Don't pass it over.

You don't have to read very far to catch Barack in another foolish statement. I would love to see the full quote on this, because the wording would be pretty important, but if what this moron said is anything close to what is reported, he's inserted his foot again.

Barack Obama chose federal appeals judge Sonia Sotomayor to become the nation's first (hispanic) Supreme Court justice on Tuesday, praising her as "an inspiring woman" with both the intellect and compassion to interpret the Constitution wisely.

First of all, I care as much about Sonia Sotomayor being hispanic as I do Barack Obama being black. Zippo. Zero. Nada.

My question is this: Since when is "compassion" required to interpret the Constitution wisely? "Compassion" directly interferes with impartiality, and may even stand in its way if a decision requires partiality to the words of the document itself (which is every decision). There has been too much compassion in dealing with these matters over the last thirty or so years ... FAR too much.

Even the nominee herself gave conflicting statements. One which would seem quite refreshing:

I don't believe we should bend the Constitution under any circumstance. It says what it says. We should do honor to it.

This was said at her confirmation hearing in 1998 for her current position as an appeals judge. Of course, according to this article, she violated that very statement of philosophy:

In one of her most notable decisions, as an appellate judge she sided last year with the city of New Haven, Conn., in a discrimination case brought by white firefighters. The city threw out results of a promotion exam because too few minorities scored high enough.

According to this decision, it're pretty clear she's a racist, which is supported by this statement as well:

"I simply do not know exactly what the difference will be in my judging," she said in a speech in 2001. "But I accept there will be some based on my gender and my Latina heritage."

Another notable quoted in the article:

One conservative group did not wait for the formal announcement. Wendy Long of the Judicial Confirmation Network, issued a statement calling Sotomayor a "liberal judicial activist of the first order who thinks her own personal political agenda is more important that the law as written."

This statement wasn't backed up with anything, but the prior quote and decision make it pretty clear that this woman will not be impartial in matters involving illegal aliens or anyone else of hispanic descent.

She would be wise to recuse herself of involvement in any such cases.

Sadly, I doubt she will.

From the Lonegan campaign:

Monday Morning, 10:00 am

Dear Friend,

In the Second Gubernatorial Debate, candidate Chris Christie said he would create a "red-tape review group" to help him "see what kind of mess Jon Corzine left us with." Then, in answer to a subsequent question, Christie commented, "I went to law school because I'm bad at math and science, so 1 to 10 is a little difficult for me."

Following is a list of 10 problems that Mayor Steve Lonegan already knows the people of New Jersey are confronting:

1) The New Jersey economy has been decimated by the Christie-supported progressive income tax.

2) New Jersey is losing high-paying jobs to neighboring states.

3) Small business owners are saddled with onerous taxes and regulations.

4) Taxpayer dollars are diverted to fund abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.

5) On the advice of a Christie advisor, the state's pension system is now nearly bankrupt.

6) A bloated state government inhibits citizens from rising to their best possible potential.

7) Suburban taxpayers are forced to fund their own school districts as well as others.

8) Law-abiding citizens in New Jersey are deprived of their Second Amendment Rights.

9) Home rule has been effectively obliterated by un-elected bureaucrats in Trenton.

10) An unaccountable State Supreme Court has become the most powerful branch of government.

I really don't need these ten reasons to vote for a non-establishment candidate. Chris Christie might as well be Arlen Specter, for all the good he's done for the state. We are long beyond the point where any kind of "red-tape review group" or "blue-ribbon commission" would be of any benefit. How much would this group get paid out of taxpayers' pockets to tell us what we already know?

New Jersey is in the tank, folks - and not because of some unknown phantom. The problem is liberal Republicans and Democrats and the people who vote for them. Yes, I did say that - the people who vote for them.

Americans, including New Jerseyans, must begin to understand that they are responsible for the behavior of those they choose to elect. Vote for the candidate who screws up royally, and YOU are to blame for his shortcomings as an official. These votes must be taken seriously. Honestly, did conservatives voting for McCain stop Obama from getting in? Was there any way at all someone that liberal in ideology was going to present much of an alternative?

Americans need to take their own votes more seriously. You don't vote LOTE when there's a perfectly good candidate available. When Alan Keyes is available, you don't vote for John McCain. Screw the money his party is throwing at you. In the end it's the tally that decides the winner, not the money spent.

Steve Lonegan is the best candidate I have seen for any office in my memory. Should he win and deliver what he promises, he will be the best governor New Jersey has had in that same memory. A man of his strength and willingness to stand both for what is right and against what is wrong will also make a great President of the United States.

Should Steve Lonegan not be the victor in the Republican primary, folks, I WILL be writing him in come November. It is my responsibility as a voter and a New Jerseyan.

If Beltway spending plans were breakfast cereals, they'd be yanked from grocery stores in a heartbeat. Their promises and premises are as full of holes as a box of persecuted Cheerios.

Many more home runs like this one, and the New York Mets are likely to come a-knockin'.

Just read it. It's dead on.

From the Lonegan campaign's email newsletter:

Astonishingly, Mayor Lonegan was attacked last week by Christie for supporting a Conservative Flat Tax that would pave the way for sustainable economic growth for every New Jerseyean. The Christie Campaign even resorted to using negative, automated phone calls to try to mislead Republicans into believing that a Simple Flat Tax is not in the best interests of taxpayers.

The flat tax ALONE could save New Jersey's economy. Add to that all the reductions Steve Lonegan is planning across the board, and you have the recipe for an economic boom in New Jersey the likes of which the world hasn't seen in a long time, possibly not even in Texas.

The only sticking point is that Steve will have to actually get it passed, and you can bet the liberals in the Assembly and the Senate won't be so eager to surrender their power to the people of New Jersey as to allow Mr. Lonegan's plans to happen. Conservatives will have to run and win - and I do NOT mean Republicans, as New Jersey's Republican Party is as deeply entrenched in the boondoggle that is liberalism as the Democrats and worse.

Still, having a strong conservative at the helm can't at all be a bad thing.

Go Steve!

The Emperor has done it again. As the blog-son he never knew he had, I am proud to link my blog-daddy on this one. Here's an excerpt:

His Majesty doesn't know what it is that makes plebeians think that sticking a crown upon your head automatically endows you with the cunning that is a necessity for holding on to said crown for very long. He always thought that the lesson of Napoleon, a peasant with quite considerable skills (for a plebe, that is) would teach wannabes something. But it never does. They're always caught up in their own press, pathetically oblivious to the harsh reality of the world we live in.

So we couldn't help but giggle when the jugeared dilettante from Chicago fired up his nutroots and encouraged them in their quest for "truth" about the "torture" of terrorists. It's a typical example of "be careful what you wish for", but the pathetic boor and his first Clydesdale were, sucked up in their own bought and paid for press, apparently unable to even contemplate that revealing the actual facts about our post-9/11 interrogations of mass-murdering swine might also reveal that his minions were lying so fast that it's a wonder their lips were staying on.

Classic Rottie style, baby. The kind that inspired me to blog in the first place. This is why I blog.

I've long been a fan of Mike Adams. Strangely, it's been a while since I've sat down and read his work. It must be the hustle and bustle of daily living that has taken my attention from the great stuff he's put out.

Yesterday, Mike put out this article, which is built around the foolishness of the statist philosophy. As I have suggested all freedom-loving conservatives should do, he has used the wise words of George Washington in support of his position:

There is a rank due to the United States among nations which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation of weakness. If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war.

- George Washington, 1793 (as quoted by Mike Adams)

He also put forth a very persuasive quote from Ronald Reagan:

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our grandchildren what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

- Ronald Reagan (as quoted by Mike Adams)

He points out that America is a superior nation to the rest in the world, and that the rest of the world knows it well enough that we shouldn't be kowtowing to their efforts to bring us to their level. He also calls attention to a new book by Mark Levin, a great modern patriot who will be instrumental in winning the Revolution for free people.

Kudos to Mike. America needs his voice as well.

According to WorldNetDaily:

Thomas is questioning the viability of Supreme Court precedents dating back to the 1960s, long before the explosion of media sources beyond radio airwaves.

"The text of the First Amendment makes no distinctions among print, broadcast, and cable media, but we have done so," Thomas noted.

"It is certainly true that broadcast frequencies are scarce but it is unclear why that fact justifies content regulation of broadcasting in a way that would be intolerable if applied to the editorial process of the print media."

Well duh.

Why are we now getting to this? How in the world did AMERICANS get to the place where this discussion even needed to be had? Freedom of Sppech is a GOD-GIVEN RIGHT. There's no abridging that in the name of some phoney bullshit notion of "fairness".

Kudos to Justince Thomas for taking a stand.

OK everyone. It's time for "Who Believes It?", the great new game show brought to you by the RWRepublic, where we bring forth real quotes from real politicians that even those speaking don't believe, and see if anyone else buys into the bullshit.

Posted earlier today at BarackObama.com, Mr. Obama is reported to have said this:

We can no longer afford to spend as if deficits don't matter and waste is not our problem. We can no longer afford to leave the hard choices for the next budget, the next administration -- or the next generation.

Is there ANYONE out there that buys into this crap? Does ANYONE believe that Barack Obama means this when he's proposing deficits greater than the entire national debt at the beginning of the Clinton Administration (another Donk who bitched and moaned about his predecessor's spending habits and then turned around and outspent him)?

ANYONE??
